that.
I am pretty sure the WxWrox unit runs on DC power. At least the one
in my

Yes, that's why he has a 9 volt DC power supply plugged into the
inverter.

As I said already.

prim·er

n.

1) An elementary textbook for teaching children to read.
2) A book that covers the basic elements of a subject.


Obviously I was meaning primer.... with definition number 2....


Now go dust off your toilet paper roll collection.... and I think one of
them is out of place....

What are you asking? What WXWorx is? It's a XM satellite radio system
that lets you get real time weather in the cockpit.

No, he's asking what product gets weather using WXWorx and displays it on a
palmtop along with a moving map GPS and a backup AI. Anywhere's products
seem to do all this, but get weather with a satellite phone.

Oh, sorry...that's my question, not his.

Somebody at Oshkosh was demoing software for PocketPC that got weather
info from WXWorx. I wish I could remember who, but since I don't have a
PocketPC PDA I didn't pay that much attention.

Well THAT explains it.... searching for WxWorKS ... comes up with some
kind of computer language/hardware/etc..... WxWorX .... that explains it
completely.....

It's funny, .. the net nazie that corrected my spelling of primer with
primmer, didn't catch the mispelling in the original post that would
have obviously led me in the right direction....

Thanks

Yeah, I didn't look too carefully at the captions of the pictures before
posting. Sorry about that.

Violence, rude language, excessive drinking, paganism. It's hard to
find children's books like that these days.
